Interesting writing but otherwise, one of those books I place back on the shelf after saying "so what". ( ) Mason Crowe is sixteen and is in love. The girl of his dreams, Seeta, is about to be married to a man she's never met -- an arranged marriage with the groom coming from India. At the same time, Mason is the dream boy of Lena Schellendal. And, as Seeta moves on (and away), Mason and Lena begin a relationship. And he loves her. Lena, however, has psychological problems, including depression. She often shuts herself away and Mason struggles to be a good friend to her. This is the coming of age story of Mason as he watches his parents' marriage deteriorate, deals with his brother's behaviour with women, and tries to hold on to Lena. Well written, good characters, a sad but real story. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The Case of Lena S. follows the life, loves, and coming-of-age of sixteen-year-old Mason Crowe during a year in which he will learn what it truly means to be in the world. At the centre of the novel is Lena, a troubled girl who has “chosen” Mason and will teach him something of desire and despair. Impulsive, provocative, vulnerable, and sad, Lena becomes haunting for Mason in ways he does not always understand. We meet Mason’s first “love,” an older girl destined for an arranged marriage; his mother, who takes a lover; and a wise and erudite blind man with a voyeuristic streak, to whom Mason reads. Playful, and with deadpan humour, the novel brilliantly captures the yearnings of youth, as well as the tantalizing possibilities and the confounding absurdities that sometimes lie at the heart of our most intimate relationships.
